Most of Sony HDR series Camcorders stores videos in AVCHD format which utilizes MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (AVC) video coding and either Dolby AC-3 (Dolby Digital) or uncompressed linear PCM audio coding. After importing to computer, avchd videos become files with extensions of M2TS, MTS or M2T.

Although the common mac editing software such as iMovie, FCE, FCP supports AVCHD videos generated by most of the camcorders, we still often encounter problems importing Sony HDR-CX videos to iMovie or FCE or FCP due to special model of Sony HDR-CX such as Sony HDR-CX550 video size problem importing Sony HDR-CX150 1920*1080 avchd videos to FCE 4.0, etc.

Owing to Sony HDR Handycam recording video in AVCHD MTS/MPEG, or miniDV, for Mac users, you cannot directly import these MTS, MPEG, miniDV video to Mac to edit with iMovie, FCP, etc.
